Yaar ya to ghatai ha
Worked like a charm.
I am starting grilling as a hobby today and this was a good method to start a charcoal fire. Thanks for the clean way here. Here's hoping happy grilling times for me
hi, where to buy that charcoal
This is great! Just tried it and it works like a charm.
Hardwood charcoal is the only way to g88
I see you use the Wood type Charcoal, would this work say with using the Regular Kingsfort type Charcoal Bragetts, Also.?
Bacon grease+paper towel works great too
now that's how you start charcoal not lighter fluid
Cheers for the Video! Forgive me for butting in, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about – Proutklarton Helping Firestarter Plan (probably on Google)? It is a smashing one off guide for getting a $15 optic fire starter for free without the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my work colleague finally got cool results with it.
thank u sooo much I am a girl too I subscribed
I know you been cooking on that Kamado for a few years now, been thinking of getting one my-self. Is it really worth it to step away from my Weber?
cool I love this.
I just got a blowtorch. Works really well 😉
I do the oil soaked paper for my charcoal chimney.
Larry thanks for showing us how to do this!!! its probably a mans job right? 😀 hahah
Thanks. nice video. I need help grilling.
You could save yourself all of that extra work if you just move up to the current century and buy a damn gas grill.
<grinning, ducking, and running like Hell>
great tip
This is a great tip Larry, thanks for sharing!
Will this work on good ole Kingsford coals?
Great idea Larry.
My grill seems to cook too hot with vents barely open. Gets to about 400. How can I slow cook. My first experience with charcoal kettle grill. Thanks
Thanks for the tip.
Its not Tuesday and there is no Butter! lol
Very informative!
Hi Larry, what kind of torch did you use to start charcoal in your grilled turkey video and where do you get such a tool?
That's a pretty neat method!
cool tip! thanks
Larry, this is a great tip! Vegetable oil and paper towels! I don't suppose it would do much good with my propane grill though, huh? Thanks for the clever idea my friend!
nice trick.
This is great to know. I always use gas, but would like to try using charcoal – I'll have to try it soon.
Wolfie, I think I learned more from YOU than anyone else out there about using a charcoal grill . . . lighting it off properly was just ONE small example! (I remember my dad using gasoline, etc. <rofl> as you may recall) 😮
I really miss being able to use my Weber, but it is always a pleasure to just sit back and watch the pros (like you) in action on the Tube! Thanks so much for all your efforts to educate people on the right way to do things, and thumbs way up as always, your now fellow Virginian, Norfolk Joe 🙂
Thanks for sharing this! With that Rec-Tec I thought you might have forgotten how to do this LOl. Just breaking your balls! But seriously, my favorite method is to use a chimney starter on the side burner of my gas grill. Works great.
